Ripple is the catchall name for the cryptocurrency platform, the transactional protocol for which is actually XRP, in the same fashion as Ethereum is the name for the platform that facilitates trades in Ether. Like other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is built atop the idea of a distributed ledger network which requires various parties to participate in validating transactions, rather than any singular centralized authority. That facilitates transactions all over the world, and transfer fees are far cheaper than the likes of bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, XRP transfers are effectively immediate, requiring no typical confirmation time.  Ripple was originally founded by a single company, Ripple Labs, and continues to be backed by it, rather than the larger network of developers that continue bitcoin’s development. It also doesn’t have a fluctuating amount of its currency in existence. Where bitcoin has a continually growing pool with an eventual maximum, and Ethereum theoretically has no limit, Ripple was created with all of its 100 billion XRP tokens right out of the gate. That number is maintained with no mining and most of the tokens are owned and held by Ripple Labs itself — around 60 billion at the latest count.  Even at the recently reduced value of around half a dollar per XRP, that means Ripple Labs is currently sitting on around $20 billion worth of the cryptocurrency (note: Ripple’s price crashed hard recently, and may be worth far less than $60 billion by time you read this). It holds 55 billion XRP in an escrow account, which allows it to sell up to a billion per month if it so chooses in order to fund new projects and acquisitions. Selling such an amount would likely have a drastic effect on the cryptocurrency’s value, and isn’t something Ripple Labs plans to do anytime soon.  In actuality, Ripple Labs is looking to leverage the technology behind XRP to allow for faster banking transactions around the world. While Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are built on the idea of separating financial transactions from the financial organizations of traditional currencies, Ripple is almost the opposite in every sense.  XRP by Ripple price can be found on this page alongside the market capitalization and additional stats.

XRP is experiencing substantial upward momentum, driven by record-breaking inflows into its spot ETFs, signaling robust institutional interest and increasing demand.

Welltower said it is acquiring the in-place properties at a substantial discount to the estimated replacement cost.The company said that the Amica assets have exhibited ‘significant pricing power’ with revenue per occupied room (RevPOR) growth, outperforming Welltower's overall senior residences portfolio over the past five years.“Against a backdrop of rapidly growing demand and limited new supply, we expect the portfolio to drive outsized revenue and cash flow growth in the coming years," CEO Shankh Mitra said.In addition to the 31 properties, Welltower would also buy seven properties currently under construction after achieving certificates of occupancy, which is expected to occur in stages between 2025 and 2027.The deal, including nine land parcels in affluent neighborhoods, is expected to close in the fourth quarter.Retail sentiment on Stocktwits stayed in the ‘bearish’ (36/100) territory, while retail chatter was ‘extremely low.’<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:802/177;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/WELL_MAR_2_78eee8ff41.JPG" alt="WELL’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 09:17 p.m. ET on March 2, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="802" height="177"><figcaption>WELL’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 09:17 p.m. ET on March 2, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>In January, Welltower agreed to buy NorthStar Healthcare Income, an owner of senior housing properties, in a deal valued at $900 million.The company had forecasted normalized funds from operations (FFO) between $4.79 and $4.95 per share in 2025, aided by strong growth in senior housing net operating income.Over the past year, <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/WELL">Welltower stock</a> has gained nearly 67%.1 Canadian dollar (C$) = $0.69Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/cars-com-stock-snags-another-price-target-cut/cheiyEBRzQ">Cars.com Stock Snags Another Price Target Cut As Sell-Side Wary About Execution: Retail Stays Confident</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
